CA Peanut Allergy Part II

We finally had CA's official allergy test and he is definitely allergic to peanuts. He is in the high category for the allergy. The good news is that he is not allergic to anything else that they tested and they tested a lot of foods.

He is taking it all in stride as he doesn't like peanuts anyway. However, he has to be careful about eating things that have been processed in plants with peanuts like M&M's and apparently some types of chocolate chips. He reached for a cookie at church again not realizing it was peanut butter so we will definitely have to watch him with stuff like that. Some kids with peanut allergies can't even touch the stuff or smell it. While he is not that allergic yet, more exposure to peanuts can increase his reactions. This is a learning process for all of us.
